Default Hesitating!!!!

Hello,
My car lately has been hesitating under a load, but when i drive normal its fine, but say if I'm on the highway and i hit the gas to pass some one it kinda pops and shakes but if i hit the gas harder then it goes away. At first i was thinking it was my trans, but right now I'm not to sure, car was running awesome then we got a couple warm days here and that'* when it started. If any one has any ideas or need more info please let me know.
Thanks

I would start with plugs and wires, and check the coils.

New plugs and wires don't mean squat. Let'* get those plugs out and see what they look like. Post a closeup pic of them, and keep them in order so you know which came from which cylinder.

I had a similar issue recently, would hesitate under load and mine wouldnt rev past 3k under acceleration. I did a wire replacement with Belden premiums and i found that there was rust on the connections between the coil packs and wires.

I know theres a small chance that this is your problem, but it wouldnt hurt to check good luck.

Sorry it took so long to get back.. work has been keepin me busy, But i pulled the plugs and they looked good, (cant find camera) but i checked my coils and my top one would even read on the multi meter checked the others and they were fine, so i went to the junk yard and searched around for a coil that had the about the same readin as mine got it and installed it and problem fixed, Now im just waiting till pay day to buy a brand new one..

Thanks all for the input and help
